The Chestnut Family Foundation has made a two-year commitment of $300,000 to Augusta Mini Theatre to help develop the sustainability of this important and impactful community arts and life skills school.
Under the charismatic leadership of Tyrone Butler and Judith Simon-Butler, Augusta Mini Theatre has provided opportunities in Augusta since 1975 for the artistic needs of the children who have been historically under-served. Their work extends beyond the development of artistic skills to teaching life skills. The impact of Augusta Mini Theatre’s programs is demonstrated by the positive choices made by their students including the fact that none of their students has ever dropped out of school.
We are excited to see the further development of Augusta Mini Theatre and the strengthening of the legacy the Butlers have given to the Augusta community.
